This is really strange!

Norton AV thinks BDP zapper is a worm. And Malware Bytes registers it as a threat:isadizzy:.

Makes you wonder how "on top of it" those utility programmers really are.


Hey! I just notice the sheep who flew the Atlantic (NYTP) with me is still here. The thread (Roger55 FS2004) is probably long dead but the sheep lives on.

Roger58, you have to tell your AV program to ignore or not check the BDP Zapper. Most, if not all, AV programs have been getting a bit "touchy" about the ETO BDP Zapper lately. I assure you, it is not a virus, worm, malware, or anything harmful to your machine. You are getting a false positive.:d

Yes I know. The utility programers to whom I refered are those at Norton/Symantic and Malware Bytes.

Being suspicious of everything, I have often wondered if Symantc doesn't have a black ops division whose job is to invent viruses, worms, trojans, and malware to keep their market strong.

Norton doesn't like the ETO Backup utility either, but it can be knocked into shape via the Exclusions settings in NIS.

And Norton and Microsoft play so well together. Ive had an XP update turn off Norton and Norton cause XP to close (sorry for the inconvenience).

By definition -- does it not go through and wipe out the olde bdp files --
is that not the actions of a worm?

I'd say the malware call is good --
and so is the zapper.

I have McAfee the latest version:isadizzy: Beats me just where the Exclusions settings are located.

Exclusions are what Symantec call 'em - what McAfee call 'em I don't know. Perhaps the help files can tell you? EDIT: It's done through the Trusted list, apparently.

@exc141ac - It's a lousy worm that only deletes files the program will automatically re-create next time it runs!
